as having the tog jump over a stick, the trainer or owner should dress the part. This inspires confidence, or something, in the dog. Flannel trousers and gum shirtg are suggested for the trainer when t he strips for action. In getting the dog to jump over the stick hold it low enough to inspire the confidence which is so important. Keep lowering the stick. Then put one end in the dog’s mouth, jump over it yourself, and give the dog a piece of meat. So much for the second step in the training of a dog. Feeding a dog is another important item in the ownership of one. The owner himself must prove to the dog that he wants to be fed; if there is any difficulty here, it is always wise to tell the dog: “See the nice food—daddy eatu It,” While eating your dog’s rations, never turn your back on him. Ims gives him an inferiority complex and probably results in the dog eating your breakfast. It is always advisable, in training a dog, to keep him off the furniture—particularly beds. That is, of course, if you have any intention of sleeping in the bed. There are various methods of reaching this goal. One is to equip 1 yourself with a long snake whip. ' The minute the dog sets foot on the ’ bed, advance with whip and strike f You’ll miss the dog, but you will ’ have shown your authority. I This procedure may be kept up ! for as many hours as your strength ; holds out. Then leave the dog in 1 bed and make yourself as comfort- , able as possible on the window ' I realize how necessary this in- ’ formation is to your well being I trust it will prove helpful. > It proved invaluable to me ih “Weekend at the Waldorf,' w J* en played nursemaid .to a blac Scottie -slightly pregnant. That J shouldn’t happen to a man. ’ And what makes me an author--3 ity on dogs, you ask ? Frankly, because I never owned 1 one.

The eyes of the old marshal and the man who has been called the “evil genius” of France did not hifet as Laval nervously strode lata'the courtroom.
